For Day 22 of the KitGuru Advent Calendar, we are teaming up with Sharkoon to give TWO lucky readers a new ergonomic chair!
Great kit! I love the idea of 24GB for under 300. count me in.
Gamers dont need 12GB. I only edit images for the web, hard to know if I would need this or not, probably not. Wonder what Windows 8 will be like for memory demands. Vista was a hog.
I dislike oversized heatspreaders. no need for them now, they stop fitting of the best heatsinks.
Actually its very rare that heatsinks cant be fitted with these kind of heatspreaders. companies like noctua need to look into this with the newest designs and have a cutout section where the ram would be so they DO fit,.
Kingston memory? never bought it, thought it was more for pcworld and kids.
Wish I could afford an X58 system. the memory is a good price, but the rest of it isnt lol.
Christ, how much was this system? two 6990s? 990x? liquid cooled. lol. I feel like such a pauper at times. my core 2 duo just blushes everytime I open a review here :p
Hate these enormous heat spreaders ,
Rather use something like Crucial Ballistic
series . small and sensible
